I think this song could be about Anne Boleyn. Her family pressured her to become the kings mistress (because the queen couldn't bear him a male heir) so that there family could gain more money and power. However Henry VIII was initially attracted to her sister Mary. Henry VIII began his pursuit of Anne. She resisted his attempts to seduce her, refusing to become his mistress as her sister Mary had. It soon became the one absorbing object of Henry's desires to annul his marriage to Queen Catherine so he would be free to marry Anne.Henry's marriage to Anne, and her subsequent execution, made her a key figure in the political and religious upheaval that was the start of the English Reformation. She gave birth to the future Elizabeth I of England. To Henry's displeasure, however, she failed to produce a male heir. (however her sister has a male child with him, but it would never be allowed to rule England because it was a bastard child).Henry had Anne investigated for high treason in April 1536. On 2 May she was arrested and sent to the Tower of London, where she was tried before a jury of peers - which included Henry Percy, her former betrothed and her own uncle, Thomas Howard - and found guilty on 15 May. She was beheaded four days later. Modern historians view the charges against her, which included adultery and incest, as unconvincing.Jane Seymour became Henry's third wife 11 days after Anne's execution. (He had 6 wives)
